Kelly Hoppen, the designer behind the chic interiors of Pearl Yachts, on her essentials for sailing in Tahiti
I first went to Tahiti 15 years ago and have been back about five times since. You can just sail for days going from atoll to atoll. Fakarava was one of my favourite places, in the middle of nowhere. Very magical. It’s very remote so you eat only on board.
